Re: Buying house with son [and his girlfriend]
Reggie, I still do not understand why a simple gift is not the best option (Occam's razor). You can afford it and it avoids all encumbrances. Why not?

Re: Buying house with son [and his girlfriend]
My wife and i plan on buying a home with our son and his girlfriend in the near future. We will contribute 50% of the sale price to the purchase and my son and GF will come up with the other half via their assets and mortgage combo. We plan on contributing the 50% and not making it a gift or a loan. The stipulation is that our name goes on the title as 50% owner and there be an in law apartment so when we visit ( he is out of state) we have a place to stay instead of airbnb and hotels.

Stanford becomes latest institution to drop the value of family homes when calculating ability of a student to pay And paying off the mortgage completely frees up extra cash flow that can be used towards college, thus hopefully allowing to continue maximum possible retirement contributions during kids' college years. We have some funds in 529s, but stopped contributing a while back. Sent in the mortgage payoff payment today though:) The people in this thread taking about substantial 529 investments aren't qualifying for financial aid regardless. E...
